With my youngest we went for an ipad with guided access and you can set a time limit for a category of apps (for example, Games or Social Networking) and for individual apps.

There are really interesting comments on this!

Great! There really interesting comments on this!

For a 3 year old I would go with a leap pad. You want something that gives the most education, as for knowing screen time set a schedule, can only use it in the car or waiting for appointments etc at 3years old you really want to limit screen time,

We use my IPad for our 3 year old, she has a padded carry case and is only allowed when we are in the car for a long time or she has been busy all day and needs a rest but it is tired for sleep.

I love the leapfrog brand.

iPad for the whole family

Leap frogs are pretty good, they have a lot of educational toys

What did you end up Choosing?

What did you decide on? Mine use an ipad mini.

Would love to hear which one you chose, I think there are some new ones just come on the market now too.

I hope you have found one that you liked

Hope you were able to choose the right one with all the informative tips

I always liked the iPads

We went for the iPad!

If you can afford it, I’d go the ipad.

Target have the pen do pad out for $90 its a good buy.

Androids are very cheap on Deals Direct, you can get them for under $100 at the moment. I’ve been considering one for my son.

I would suggest a small android tablet without a sim card. There are a wider variety of apps available for android than ipads for kids, and you can download apps with a password protected wi fi connection, so the kids cannot accidentally access things they shouldn’t.

I’d go for ipad mini. Kids can learn a lot on it.
